In the Brahma-saṁhitā it is said, sṛṣṭi-sthiti-pralaya-sādhana-śaktir ekā (Bs. 5.44): "There is an energy which can create, maintain and destroy the whole cosmic manifestation." Sṛṣṭi-sthiti-pralaya-sādhana-śaktir ekā, one. There is one energy. Chāyeva yasya vibharti bhuvanāni durgā: "That energy is working just like shadow under the direction of Kṛṣṇa." That is big energy, but that energy . . . just like atomic energy, big energy, but it is done by a scientist, not that the ingredients automatically mix together and become an atomic . . . no. That is not possible. Big, big brain, scientist, they are dealing. Similarly, this big energy—creation, maintenance and destruction of nature—that nature is called Durgā. Durgā. Duḥ. Duḥ means difficult, and gā means going, or to understand. To understand the laws of material nature is very difficult. That is called Durgā. Or durgā means . . . Durgā, durgā means this is like a fort. We are kept within this, and the superintendent is Durgā. Therefore Durgā's picture is ten hands, ten directions, with different kinds of weapon protecting. Sṛṣṭi-sthiti-pralaya-sādhana-śaktir ekā chāyeva yasya bhuvanāni vibharti durgā, icchānu . . . now the conclusion, icchānurūpam api yasya ca ceṣṭate sā: "She is working not independently; according to the desire of somebody else." Who is that somebody? Govindam ādi-puruṣaṁ tam ahaṁ bhajāmi: "That is Govinda. I am worshiping Him." And this is confirmed in the Bhagavad-gītā.

What is the use of . . .? Why should we go to research? Everything is there. Our position is very safe. We get the perfect knowledge without wasting our time. We take from Kṛṣṇa, that's all. Finish. We know everything. Just like so many scientists, so many psychology, psychiatrist and religionist, they come to me, but I am neither of them. I never was a scientist, neither I am a psychologist, neither a psychiatrist, neither this or that. But I speak on the strength of Bhagavad-gītā, I defeat them. It is practical. So many people came to me, but nobody went unharmed. Yes.
